Remarks

Edit cells are displayed within the Edit Form. Each cell corresponds to a data column and allows its value within the edited row to be changed. If the Visible property is set to false, the edit cell isn’t displayed within the Edit Form. In this instance, end-users are not allowed to change the column’s values.

It’s also possible to display edit cells within the Edit Form that correspond to data columns that are hidden within the ASPxGridView. To do this, set the Visible property to ‘True’.

If the Visible property is set to ‘Default’, the edit cell’s visibility depends on the visibility of the data column to which it corresponds. The data column’s visibility is specified by its Visible property.

The edit cell’s position within the Edit Form is specified by the GridColumnEditFormSettings.VisibleIndex property.

Operation in Batch Edit Mode

In Batch Edit mode the Visible property specifies whether a value of cell that corresponds to the current data column can be modified by an end-user. If the Visible property is set to false, the row’s cell is visible, but cannot be switched to edit mode. When an end-user navigates through cells using the TAB key, the row’s cells are skipped.

The GridColumnEditFormSettings.VisibleIndex property in Batch Edit mode is not in effect.
